Chapter 017 Great Harvest(2/3)

.

Wang Zhong shook his head: "Have you ever been a housekeeper? How can you tolerate such a thing?"

The three monkeys laughed.

Look at this appearance, the Three Monkeys didn't even think about Xiao Zhuan at all.

"If you really want to find a virtuous girl, I can think of someone." Wang Zhong looked at the three monkeys and suddenly said with a smile.

"Which one is it?" The three monkeys' eyes lit up and they asked eagerly.

"Deng'er!" Wang Zhong said.

The three monkeys quickly shook their heads, looking disappointed: "Deng'er likes Brother Daring!"

"There's nothing going on between Deng'er and Brother Bold!" Wang Zhong said: "Brother Bold swore before his father's death in front of all of us that he would never marry Deng'er for the rest of his life! Brother Bold has always been a talkative person.

count."

"It's not my turn!" said the three monkeys.

"This won't work, that won't work either!" Wang Zhong said angrily: "You want to marry a fairy in the sky!"

"That's not what I mean!" Sanhouhou explained hurriedly: "I just want to find someone who is similar to Chunmei's sister-in-law, who looks more upright, is diligent, and can live a good life."

Wang Zhongdao: "As the old saying goes, marry a man, marry a man, wear clothes and eat. When a woman marries, isn't it just for a good life? If you live a prosperous life, not only have meat every meal, but also want to live a good life."

You can eat white-flour steamed buns every day, but you still have to worry about finding a handsome and virtuous girl?"

The three monkeys' eyes lit up and a smile appeared on their faces: "What I said makes sense."

······

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, but Three Monkeys' marriage was still not settled. Wang Zhong went to find Madam Ma, and after asking, he found out that Madam Ma had introduced two girls from neighboring villages for Three Monkeys, but it was a pity that Three Monkeys didn't like them themselves.

The summer harvest came in a blink of an eye, and everyone in the cooperative gathered together again, but this year the number of people increased from six to eight, with the addition of Jiang Hongguo and Ma Renxiang, whose legs and feet were not as agile as ordinary people. Everyone in the village cared about it.

His name is Ma Laizi.

Early in the morning, before dawn, the village was lit up with smoke. Wang Zhong from each farm community stood on the field ridge and said to everyone: "This year's wheat harvest is still the same as the old rules. We gay men

They are mainly responsible for charging at the front, and the female comrades are mainly responsible for logistics and threshing work. Ma Renli, your main task this year is also to cut wheat."

"President, don't worry, I will try my best." Ma Renli said with a smile.

"Renxiang, what about you?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ma Renxiang patted his chest and said, "No problem."

Wang Zhong glanced at everyone: "It's still the same as before. You can rest when you are tired, but if you are cheating and taking advantage of the opportunity to be lazy, I will not show favoritism. I will do whatever I want."

There is no rule without rules. As early as when the mutual aid group was established, Wang Zhong had agreed with everyone on the rules. If anyone was found cheating or not working hard, a certain amount of grain would be deducted from the harvest.

If he doesn't want to, it's easy. He is still in the mutual aid group in name, but no one will help him in the coming year, so just exclude him.

In this period of low productivity, if there are no people huddled together for warmth, working alone will be more tiring and inefficient.

"Ma Renli, especially you, it doesn't matter if you are slower, but if you dare to cheat, don't blame me as the president for being ruthless." Wang Zhong reminded Ma Renli again.

"President, don't worry, I will work hard!" Ma Renli promised, patting his chest. In the first two years, Ma Renli had a lot of grain deducted, and the grain deducted was evenly distributed to other people who worked hard.

"Okay, let's get started while it's still early!"

Wang Zhong waved his hand, and everyone began to cut the wheat. After a while, Wang Zhong took the lead and reached the front.

The female comrades were also in the wheat-cutting team at the beginning. When a large crop of wheat covering half an acre of land came out, the three female comrades Jin Hua, Han Chunmei and Jiang Hongguo began to thresh the wheat.

Windmills are not rare objects, but this threshing machine is really rare. Even if it exists, the braking method is not this kind of foot pedal, but the kind similar to the pedal of a sewing machine.

I can’t say who is better or worse between the two, I can only say that each has its own pros and cons!

But obviously this bicycle pedal braking mode is more suitable for this kind of joint work mode.

It only takes a few seconds to complete the threshing of a bundle of wheat by placing the wheat ears on the drum. Moreover, the size of the threshing machine can allow two people to thresh at the same time.

After the threshing was completed, the threshed wheat straw was piled up in one place. Mrs. Jin Hua and Han Chunmei had already experienced several summer harvests and were extremely familiar with the threshing machine. The two quickly walked back and forth between the wheat fields, and the heavy wheat

The ears were flipped back and forth on the drum of the threshing machine a few times, and the wheat grains were knocked away by the drum like rain, hit the covering oilcloth, and then bounced back into the wooden barrel below.

Wang Zhong, Lao Ganbang, Three Monkeys, Ma Renli and a lame horse could cut the wheat at a speed that could barely keep up with Sister Jin Hua and Han Chunmei's threshing speed.

In two and a half days, all members of the cooperative had finished harvesting their wheat fields.

Although the wheat has been taken home from the fields, this is just the beginning. Next, the wheat will be dried, passed through the windmill twice, and then weighed and counted.

Because threshing machines have become common in Maixiang Village, the pattern on the wheat field has also changed. Some rural cooperatives agree to cut the wheat first, tie it up, and then carry it back to the wheat field from the field.

Threshed and then dried on the spot.

Under the unified dispatch of the village committee, each cooperative has divided its own wheat fields.

The emergence of threshing machines has greatly shortened the time for harvesting wheat, but drying wheat also takes time. It also depends on God's face. If the recovered wheat cannot be dried and dehydrated in time, even if it is placed in a sack, it will be the same in the warehouse.

get mouldy.

Fortunately, God is kind to us this year. It has not rained for more than half a month. Almost all the folks in Maixiang Village are living on the wheat field, drying the wheat, passing it through the windmill, putting it into bags, weighing it, and putting it into storage.

"Ninety-six pounds." The three monkeys shouted out the data of the last bag.

Ma Renli sat behind the table, holding a pen and quickly writing down the number on the paper. Ma Renli, who had attended university, naturally became the accountant of the Second Agricultural Production Cooperative of Maixiang Village.

"Hurry up and compile all the data!" Wang Zhong knocked on the table and said.

Ma Renli was dialing the abacus and writing and drawing in the notebook. After a while, he put away the pen with a smile on his face.

Ma Renli looked at Wang Zhong and said: "President, the statistics are ready!"

Wang Zhong hummed: "After the statistics are done, I'll tell you all about them!"

Everyone looked at Ma Renli expectantly. Ma Renli picked up the book, put it to his mouth with a fist, coughed twice, and then said: "We still follow the old rules. Let's talk one by one. First of all, our president, two acres of cultivated land will be harvested.

Six hundred and eighty-four jins of wheat, two acres and six cents of raw land, 432 jins of harvested wheat, a total of 1,116 jins."

"Next is Niu Youdao, with three acres and a half of cultivated land, harvesting 716 kilograms of wheat, and three acres and two acres of raw land, harvesting 506 kilograms of wheat, for a total of one thousand, two hundred and twenty-two kilograms."

"Next to Ma Renyi, two acres of cultivated land are divided into seven parts, and the wheat harvest is 638 pounds. Two acres and four quarters of raw land are used to harvest three hundred and ninety-two pounds of wheat. The total is one thousand and thirty pounds."

"Sister-in-law Jinhua, two acres of cultivated land are divided into four quarters, and the harvest of wheat is 562 catties. Two acres and six quarters of raw land are used to harvest four hundred and eighteen catties of wheat. The total is nine hundred and eighty catties."

"Ma Renli, two acres of cultivated land is divided into one portion, and the wheat harvest is 508 pounds. Two acres and eighty acres of raw land is divided, and the wheat harvest is 456 pounds. The total is 964 pounds."

"Ma Renxiang..."

"For this summer's harvest, our Second Producer Cooperative harvested 6,292 jins of wheat, an increase of 3,261 jins from last year." Ma Renli was also very happy. This year's wheat harvest was considered a bumper harvest.

After excluding the part that needs to be paid to the public rations, the rest is enough for a year.

Everyone applauded, their palms turned red, and they cheered loudly. Their faces were filled with smiles, filled with satisfaction and happiness.

"Ahem!"

Wang Zhong coughed twice and said loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet. I'll say a few words!"

"Although our output this year is more than 3,000 kilograms more than last year, that is because there is one more Comrade Ma Renxiang, and the cultivated area is also much larger than last year. However, the output of the cultivated land this year is indeed more than last year.

Quite a bit, which shows that everyone's efforts have not been in vain, but we cannot be proud. We must continue our efforts and strive to increase the output of the more than ten acres of raw land that has only been developed in the past few years next year.

"

"Do you have confidence?" Wang Zhong deliberately raised his voice.

"Yes!" everyone shouted in unison.

The yield per mu of cultivated land exceeds 200 kilograms, but it is still far from 300 kilograms. This is due to changes in the spacing of wheat plants, the method of spreading fertilizer, and the use of irrigation canals to ensure winter and spring irrigation, as well as weeding and insecticide day after day.

Results that come only with careful care.

If you really want to increase wheat production, you still have to improve wheat varieties. Productivity cannot be improved by Wang Zhong alone. This can only be achieved when technology is developed.



Although everyone was in high spirits, there was unconcealable exhaustion between their brows.

From the beginning of the wheat harvest to now, for almost a week, everyone's spirits are highly tense, and their bodies are overloaded. They dare not relax for a moment. Until now, the harvested wheat will be put into storage soon. The question that hangs in the hearts of everyone

My heart was really relieved.

As she watched bags of wheat being carried into the warehouse, the smile on Jiang Hongguo's face never broke. This was the joy brought by the harvest.

"With so much wheat, how long will it take to finish it all?" Jiang Hongguo was born in a poor peasant family and has lived for more than 20 years. Whether it was when she was a girl at home or after she got married, there have never been so many wheat in the barn at home.

wheat.

"In a few days, we have to pay the public rations together!" Wang Chong said with a smile: "What's left after paying the public rations is our own."

"That's quite a lot!" Jiang Hongguo said: "When we were in my hometown, we worked hard all year long on the most fertile irrigated land. The maximum output from one acre of land was just over two hundred kilograms. It's not like us.

Here, even the land on half of the slope has become irrigated land, with an output of 240 to 50 kilograms per mu."

"Master, I heard from Sister-in-law Jinhua and Sister-in-law Chunmei that you came up with all the farming methods in the village?" Jiang Hongguo looked at Wang Zhong with a strange light in his eyes, which was called worship.

"Not entirely, some of them were also Ma Renli's suggestions!" Wang Chong said with a smile.

"Master, is there anything else you don't know?" Jiang Hongguo looked at Wang Zhong curiously.
